Article Synopsis
- IL6 signaling is crucial for initiating labor and is a biomarker for infections causing preterm labor, studied using human and non-human primate samples.
- Pregnant women with chorioamnionitis and Rhesus macaques were subjected to tests involving inflammation induction and signaling blockers to analyze IL6's role in labor.
- Results showed that IUI led to significant IL6 expression in fetal membranes, and blocking IL1 and TNF signaling reduced IL6 trans-signaling, indicating potential therapeutic options for managing inflammatory responses during pregnancy.
